US Training of Death Squads in Iraq? - War Is A Crime .org

enders’ in the Sunni Community. Same goes for the Jordanian Embassy, the scores of journalists,the mosque bombings, and virtually all of the so-called suicide bombers. These actions all hadthe effect of fomenting civil war with the Kurds, who are heavily backed by the Israelis, beingthe only local party to gain from the mayhem.Early in the war, there were reports of Iraqi men being detained by occupation authorities forseveral hours while they were interrogated and had their vehicles ‘searched’. The were releasedon the condition they must go to a specific police station to pick up their papers, or some suchnecessity. Fortunately, a lucky few discovered by happenstance that explosives had been placedin their vehicle with the purpose remote detonation at whatever destination they were directed to.Apparently the trick still works, because the rash of ‘suicide’ car bombings is unceasing.But back to Basra. The Yanks have to placate the Shia — at least enough to feel secure that theywill not be overwhelmed from the rear, the only point of escape if such becomes necessary. Itwas the only reason elections were held in a way that would guarantee nominal Shia control ofthe ‘government’. But, perhaps with Iran’s nominal assistance, the Shia began to look for proofof coalition involvement in acts that really only benefit the coalition. Hence the capture of thetwo Brit operatives en flagrante. You can ignore comfortably British claims their disguised boyswere just surveying suspected militants. If that was their true mission, why would they shoot upthe Iraqi police who stopped them, and why would storming of the police station occur beforenegotiations could produce the soldiers’ release with far less hoopla? More crucial, why wouldthe usually calm city of Basra erupt in such rage? Perhaps they’re feeling the twisting Yankeeknife in their backs yet again.As for the other predictions I have made, the potential for economic collapse has been virtuallyguaranteed by Katrina and her sibling, Rita, which is poised to take out the drilling platformsKatrina missed. Throw in further damage to refineries, and they’re going to have to retrofit thenation’s gas pumps to accommodate triple digit fill-ups. Toss in roughly the cost of another Iraqiwar, which has quietly surpassed the Vietnam debacle in one third less time, to sop out the porkto Halliburton and the like for hurricane cleanup, and it’s clear the numbers in the debit columnwill overwhelm real American assets to back them up. It’s all blue sky from here on out, baby.As for the growth of doubts about the official legend of 9/11, a former Bush official has bluntlystated that the WTC buildings were brought down by explosives, and it is reported that the probeinto the outed CIA asset has begun to sniff at the edges of the strange anomalies for which noanswer has been given. And this is the real danger for the Neocons, the only thing that couldconceivably bring down the Bush administration, or lead to unabashed martial law so that allwould know the color of their true designs. In this regard, America will collapse from the rotwithin and on a schedule that resembles the famously aggressive Spartans far more than Britainor Rome.Enjoy your Fall, folks, I’ve got to go stock the storm shelter.© Copyright 2005 by AxisofLogic.comwww.axisoflogic.com/artman/publish/article_19697.shtml223
